2026-03-12 Reconquest - Call to Me 2026-03-12 Reconquest - Call to Me | Mission of … March 12th, 2026 Jesus. “Call to Me” (This Message was dictated to Sister in Spanish, and this is her translation into English. NOTE: The footnotes are not dictated by God. They are added by Sister Amapola. Sometimes the footnote is to help clarify for the reader Sister’s sense of the meaning of a certain word or idea, and at other times to better convey the sense of God’s or Our Lady’s tone when They spoke.) Note: I perceived that this Message is a call and invitation directed to all souls created by the Father, and in a particular way, to those who do not yet know Jesus, or have not wanted to recognize Him or respond to Him yet. I also perceived that it was important that the Image of His Face (as it appears on the Shroud of Turin) be included in this Message. Write. The Eternal Word, the living Word of the Father, He Who Is, Who Was, and Who Is to come, speaks. Hear, all ye nations. Take heed, all …More
Cardinal Ernest Simoni, 97, stood beside Pope Leo XIV during the Easter Urbi et Orbi blessing at St. Peter’s Basilica. A survivor of Communist persecution in Albania, he endured years of prison and forced labor. He is known for his fidelity to the Catholic faith and his attachment to traditional liturgy.
Catholic Cardinal Ernest Simoni - sympathetic to the Traditional Mass - alongside Leo XIV in the Urbi et Orbi blessing
The cardinal is, "sympathetic" to the traditional Mass? How about rather he states the truth; The traditional Mass is infinitely pleasing to God, the Novus Ordo has protestant errors within it and is therefore not.

"Willingly will I profit by your Eminence's /Cardinal Richelieu/ goodness," replied the priest : " may I beg of your Grace to order new planks to be placed in the cart in which the prisoners are conducted to the place of execution, so that their attention may not be distracted from the love of God, and pre paring to meet Him, by the fear of falling through the cart… "
[Collin de Plancy – XVIII-XIX Century AD; Demonologist – Converted to the Catholic Faith] “Chapter 5 ~ ‘The Poor Priest’ ~ ‘Mother of Christ’ THIS is no embellished legend, but a simple anecdote of unquestionable veracity ; and it claims a page in this collection, although doubtless known to many of our readers. Its subject is a prayer—the Memorare—dear to every Catholic heart, from the pen of that great servant of Mary, St. Bernard. In the days of Louis XIII., a courtier, freeing himself from the busy life of the world, its follies and its pleasures, had the happiness, moved by God's grace, to embrace the solid, pure, and calm life of the service of God. He was of a noble family, and he quitted the splendours of wealth to live in the straits of poverty. At the commencement of his new career, a great temptation surprised him, in the shape of one of those enticements which the world so alluringly throws out to entrap those it is on the point of losing ; instead of vainly braving the …More
Bombs fall, but faith rises: Easter in Lebanon | Shalom World News Amid airstrikes, displacement, and fear, Easter still rises in Lebanon as a symbol of undying hope. This year, the Resurrection is not celebrated in the comfort of ancient village churches, but in exile—inside crowded halls, temporary shelters, and unfamiliar parishes in Beirut. Thousands of Christians, driven from their homes in southern Lebanon by war, gather to pray not only for Christ’s victory over death, but for survival, for peace, for a return home. In churches like St. Anthony’s in Beirut’s outskirts, the faithful kissed the cross with tears in their eyes. Priests led liturgies beside memories of churches they left behind—some destroyed, others too dangerous to reach. Entire communities that once celebrated Easter together in ancestral villages now worship in scattered places, carrying both faith and grief. Yet, even in displacement, the message remains unshaken: Christ is risen—even here, even now. For many …More

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, Europe is literally paying Indians hundreds of euros a month to “study” while its own students can’t afford rent and are drowning in debt. In a now-viral video, an Indian student in Europe boasts about the arrangement. He explains how the EU provides him with 1400 euros every single month that covers rent, travel, and meals, with zero student debt, while he still saves 600 euros every single month. He walks through what he calls “elite scholarship secrets,” noting that a simple bachelor’s degree, a valid passport, and basic English proficiency suffice — adding that “IELTS is not always mandatory” and a certificate from some random school abroad will do. The poster highlighted the post with clear frustration: “literally bragging about scamming the system with a degree that’s worth less than a high school diploma in the west… total subversion of our education system and you are the one footing the bill. Peak comedy.” In follow-ups, …
Haben Sie das gelesen, Herr Merz? ... Und es sind wohl nicht alleine die Inder .... Inder prahlen online damit, das europäische Bildungssystem auszunutzen „Europa zahlt Indern buchstäblich Hunderte von Euro im Monat fürs „Studium“, während sich die eigenen Studenten keine Miete leisten können und in Schulden ertrinken. In einem mittlerweile viralen Video prahlt ein indischer Student in Europa mit seiner Stipendienregelung. Er erklärt, wie ihm die EU monatlich 1400 Euro für Miete, Reisekosten und Verpflegung zur Verfügung stellt, ohne dass er Studienschulden anhäuft, und dass er trotzdem jeden Monat 600 Euro spart. Er erläutert die sogenannten „Geheimnisse des Elite-Stipendiums“ und merkt an, dass ein einfacher Bachelor-Abschluss, ein gültiger Reisepass und grundlegende Englischkenntnisse ausreichen – und fügt hinzu, dass „IELTS nicht immer erforderlich ist“ und ein Zertifikat einer beliebigen ausländischen Schule genüge.

"67. The vanity of the sciences.—Physical science will not console me for the ignorance of morality in the time of affliction. But the science of ethics will always console me for the ignorance of the physical sciences."
[Blaise Pascal – XVII Century AD; Clermont-Ferrand, France/Paris, France; Mathematics/Physics/Theology] “Section II ~ THE MISERY OF MAN WITHOUT GOD 60. First part: Misery of man without God. Second part: Happiness of man with God. Or, First part: That nature is corrupt. Proved by nature itself. Second part: That there is a Redeemer. Proved by Scripture. 61. Order.—I might well have taken this discourse in an order like this: to show the vanity of all conditions of men, to show the vanity of ordinary lives, and then the vanity of philosophic lives, sceptics, stoics; but the order would not have been kept. I know a little what it is, and how few people understand it. No human science can keep it. Saint Thomas did not keep it. Mathematics keep it, but they are useless on account of their depth. 62. Preface to the first part.—To speak of those who have treated of the knowledge of self; of the divisions of Charron, which sadden and weary us; of the confusion of Montaigne; that he was quite …More
2010 Holy Fire Miracle: Christians unite in Easter celebrations.
2010 Holy Fire Miracle: Christians unite in Easter celebrations. RussiaToday Apr 3, 2010 Christians around the world are marking Holy Saturday, the day before Easter. It commemorates the day Jesus lay in the tomb - and this year it's celebrated on the same day by Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant believers. Thousands of pilgrims from across the globe have gathered in Jerusalem to see the centuries old 'Holy Fire' ritual. The vigil - seen as a message from Jesus that he hasn't forgotten his followers - sees the arrival of the 'sacred fire' which is then used to light candles shared among the crowds. Viewed by Christians as a 'miracle' - the event happens yearly and takes place in the Church of the Resurrection in Jerusalem on Holy Saturday. The centuries old ritual symbolises new beginnings, cleansing and the start of spring. Meanwhile, final preparations before Easter are going ahead in Russian churches with traditional services being held for thousands of believers. Eggs, and special …More
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: "They had to destroy ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine… because if they had acknowledged that it was effective in anybody, the whole $200 billion vaccine enterprise would have collapsed."
Daniel Davis on YouTube has a recent interview with Robert Barnes, a constitutional lawyer who has done commendable work, including defending the Amish during the lockdowns. In it he has a short expose on the handcuffing of JFK junior going on the current administration. Very unsettling. Carry on Christian soldiers. Mother Mary strengthen us.
